There is no exact solution for how the Rx UE feedback, that is, which feedback resource is used to transmit feedback information to the Tx UE. Especially for groupcast, 3GPP agrees that Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) feedback can be used or HARQ feedback is not used. When HARQ feedback is applied, group members are allowed to use independent feedback resources, i.e., independent Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) resources.
